just some of the good brands. Lots of good ones out there. The Benen one is pretty unique. I'd prolly get that one.

basically they all do the same thing, just the ones with less joints are more rigid.

I just bought one yesterday for my 94 Integra. $100 for a polish neuspeed upper strut bar. Havn't got the chance to install it yet but I heard good things about it.

Save your money and buy a Neuspeed upper front tower/strut bar. It has 4 mounting points and is less than $100. I've used it along with my other mods on 3 road courses and I love it. Steering response is crisp and the front of the car is much more stable around and flatter around corners.

I have the Neuspeed strut in the front. I like it, definitely a good noticeable improvement in handling.

I will vouch for the integrity of my replica mugen bar...however, I didnt buy it off ebay. I have the same one as Skunk2nr -- If you check his thread on the 13 hour installation youll see a pic of it. It is VERY stiff, and I am impressed with it for only having paid 65$ for it. However, recently Ive replaced it with Spoon, and I must say, the Spoon bar is much more stiff, but not ridiculously noticable.

Only one person mentioned the Edelbrock bar.

In my opinion, this is the best front bar made for our cars. Also, it's ~$115 brand new. http://www.jegs.com. Only downfall is it won't fit an LS without a few modifications (relocating the MAP sensor if your MAP is on top of the tb, etc).

I have it on my car and it was worth the changes I had to make to fit it. I replaced my Spoon front bar with this one and the difference was dramatic.
